Telehouse Europe has appointed Chris Lamb as its new Enterprise Director, placing him in charge of a new strategy aimed at expanding its customer offering beyond its traditional colocation and connectivity base.
The appointment comes as the London market continues to see heightened enterprise demand for resilient capacity and low-latency connectivity – particularly as AI-driven workloads and performance requirements push organisations to rethink where and how they place infrastructure.
While Telehouse has traditionally focused on being a colocation provider, the appointment of Lamb will see it look to expand ‘beyond its core offerings’ and focus on ‘tailored, outcome-focused solutions’ across verticals including financial services, media, healthcare, retail and manufacturing.
Lamb joins from a career spanning systems integrator and enterprise sales leadership roles, including at Neos Networks, Verizon Business and KCOM.
On his appointment, he noted, “My key focus in this role is ensuring our products and services are aligned to what our customers are trying to achieve, helping them to reach their digital transformation goals as infrastructure demands become more performance-intensive and increasingly latency-sensitive. I’m excited to join a team that puts customer outcomes first, and to help guide our enterprise strategy across specific verticals.”
Mark Pestridge, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Telehouse Europe, added that the move reflects the company’s focus on enterprise requirements for resilience and performance.
He commented, “We are delighted to have appointed Chris Lamb to head up our enterprise strategy. Chris brings a proven track record of success with some of the industry’s leading organisations and an unparalleled understanding of enterprise customer needs. His appointment reflects our focus on supporting customers with the resilient, high-performance digital infrastructure they need, both today and in the years ahead.”
The strategy shift also lands against a backdrop of ongoing investment at Telehouse’s London Docklands campus. The company broke ground in October 2025 on Telehouse West Two – a £275 million facility scheduled for completion in 2028, with a stated 33MW building capacity supported by two new 132kV substations.
